Dental Services Offered
About Us
In the list below, you can read about some of the services we offer.
Teeth Cleanings
Due to the natural accumulation of plaque and bacteria, professional teeth cleanings are highly recommended for maintaining your dental health. Our dentist will conduct a dental examination, get rid of the accumulated tartar and polish your teeth. Additionally, our dentist can provide you with further information on how to keep your teeth looking cleaner, fresher and exceptionally healthy.
Dental crowns are used when large cavities threaten the overall health of a tooth. Crowns completely cap or encircle a tooth or dental implant. They are typically bonded to the tooth using a dental cement.
An abscess is an infection that involves pockets of puss, resulting from an untreated cavity, injury or old dental work. The common signs of an abscess include swollen gums and jaw aches. Our dentist can discuss treatment options available for this condition.
Teeth Whitening
Our dentist offers great teeth whitening services that are safe and can whiten your smile in as little as one session. The common causes of teeth discoloration involve drinking wine or coffee, smoking and/or eating hard candy. While there are several home remedies available, many are ineffective or take a long time to show results.
Zoom In-Office Teeth Whitening
Zoom in-office teeth whitening works with a patented whitening gel that is applied to your teeth in conjunction with blue light in order to maximize the results. The Zoom in-office teeth whitening is known to remove teeth discoloration and lighten your teeth up to eight shades. When the procedure is over, our dentist will provide tips on how to preserve your pearly white teeth and prevent future stains.
Braces are a common solution that has proven effective. Braces can be used to effectively correct misalignment and crowded teeth. There are several options that our dentist can suggest on the day of your appointment.
Danville Family Dental Care is proud to provide Invisalign clear aligners as an alternative to metal braces. These popular aligners provide the advantages of traditional braces but with a natural look. Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and are customized to fit your teeth. They are engineered to provide the right amount of pressure to align your teeth accordingly and at the convenience of being 100% removable. Our dentist at Danville Family Dental Care will arrange a customized treatment plan when you choose Invisalign and will give you instructions on how to proceed at home.

WDS Simulations: Time For Another Update!/
FSX/P3D. When developer Russ White branched off on his own earlier this year, I had no doubt in my mind he would be successful. After all, all he had to do is continue upon his legacy for delivering high quality sceneries with great performance within a short period of time. But I was wrong. And whether than just get products out to market, he had elected to take his time and not only refine his skills and talents, but to redefine what we perceive as quality. Now quite naturally, we all have seen the level of quality Russ has put into his HDX vehicle and vegetation libraries. We have seen the amazing detail incorporated into his internal terminal modeling. What we have not yet seen is the bigger picture (the airport) and the even bigger picture, the surrounding landscape. And I have to be honest, after today's update, I can honestly say I have not ever seen a more clean and accurate appearance of an autogened surrounding coverage area with a photoreal application so crisp, so clean, it truly puts the "real" in photoreal. But by all means, see for yourselves. No doubt, WDS will make a very serious impact on the FS community on day one of release. For more screenshots and information, click the source link below. Damn that looks good.

Serving the State's Largest Industry
An early draft of regulations for the Industrial Hemp Research Program was made available for public input in July. This draft was developed by KDA in consultation with the industrial hemp advisory board and with input from the public.
Draft of Industrial Hemp Research Program regulations
Supporting document: Approved Varieties for Planting
Thank you for your comments; input is now being used to make revisions to this draft prior to beginning the next step in the formal adoption process. As part of the formal adoption process, the regulations will be reviewed by several entities, including the Department of Administration the Attorney General, and the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules and Regulations and will be subject to a public hearing which will be announced in the Kansas Register 60 days prior to the hearing.
Governor Jeff Colyer, M.D. signed Senate Bill 263 on April 20, which enacts the Alternative Crop Research Act allowing the Kansas Department of Agriculture to oversee the cultivation of industrial hemp in a research program. KDA has begun the process of developing rules and regulations to guide the Alternative Crop Research Act, which included an open dialogue and information exchange at a public forum May 11. Content from that forum is included on this page.
The opportunity to grow a new specialty oilseed crop in Kansas offers potential for diversification for Kansas farmers looking for an alternative crop, or for new farming enterprises interested in cultivating industrial hemp. The Kansas agriculture industry has developed a statewide strategic growth plan in recent years, and is committed to pursuing new and innovative opportunities to grow agriculture. The research generated by participants of this new industrial hemp program will be valuable data in identifying the growth potential offered in this sector.
The 2014 Farm Bill included a section to allow for universities and state departments of agriculture to begin cultivating industrial hemp for purposes of research, provided that the growing and cultivating of industrial hemp is allowed under state law. Industrial hemp is defined by SB 263 as all parts and varieties of the plant cannabis sativa L that contain a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration of no more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.
When SB 263 was published in the Kansas Register, industrial hemp was no longer categorized as a controlled substance in Kansas. However, the cultivation, growth, research, transportation, processing or distribution of industrial hemp or industrial hemp seed will only be allowed with a license as part of the research program. The rules and regulations to acquire a license and otherwise carry out the provisions of the alternative crop research act will be complete on or before December 31, 2018.
The Advisory Committee has been actively working on drafted language for the rules and regulations that will oversee the program. Once the draft is complete, the timeline will be as follows:
The goal date for this to take place is December 31, 2018; however, the process could be delayed at any of these points if significant revisions take place.
Those wishing to participate in the Industrial Hemp Research Program will need to apply for an annual license, demonstrating the research plan, to be approved by the advisory board. In addition, applicants will need to submit to fingerprinting and a fingerprint-based background check. Anyone with a drug-related felony on their record will not be granted a license to grow industrial hemp. More information about the license application and the guidelines for the research plans will be determined in the rules and regulations process.
Yes, the Kansas Department of Agriculture will oversee and annually license all those participating in the cultivation, growth, research, oversight, study, analysis, transportation, processing or distribution of certified seed or industrial hemp. More information about the license application will be determined in the rules and regulations process.
Applications for permits will not be accepted until the rules and regulations are adopted. The earliest this will take place is likely to be mid-January.
Until the rules and regulations procedure is complete, and a system is in place to acquire a license to grow industrial hemp, it remains unlawful to grow the crop in Kansas.
Initially, the short-term advisory board includes industry representatives and research scientists. A list can be found further down on this webpage. In the future, the makeup and function of the advisory board will be defined in the rules and regulations process.
Industrial hemp is a variety of Cannabis sativa and is of the same plant species as marijuana. However, hemp is genetically different and distinguished by its use and chemical makeup. Industrial hemp refers to cannabis varieties that are primarily grown as an agricultural crop. Industrial hemp is defined by Kansas Senate Bill 263 as all parts and varieties of the plant cannabis sativa L that contain a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration of no more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis. Any cannabis with a percentage of THC above 0.3% is considered to be marijuana and is not legal for production or sale.
Answers to other questions will be determined in the rules and regulations process.
A short-term Advisory Board has been appointed to serve through the development of the rules and regulations. The rules and regulations themselves will identify the guidelines for formation of the Advisory Board, so upon adoption of the rules and regulations an Advisory Board will be created which will continue on a regular basis beyond that point.

Troy Waymaster, Representative 109th Kansas House District
Jeff Vogel, ex officio, Program Manager, KDA Plant Protection and Weed Control
A public forum at the Kansas Department of Agriculture was attended by more than 150 farmers, ranchers and other stakeholders in three sessions throughout the day on May 11, 2018.
The public forum sessions provided an overview of the Alternative Crop Research Act, including the legal parameters set within the bill, and the procedures that will guide development of the rules and regulations. Guest speakers included Brent Burchett, the director of the plant division from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, and Mitch Yergert, retired director of the division of plant industry from the Colorado State Department of Agriculture.
Information from the public forum will be provided here as it becomes available.

Millions of people have one goal in common: make good money from the Internet. While they have great intentions, most of them will end up failing because they either didn't know what they were doing or they weren't able to gain their share of the market. If you find yourself trying day after day to make money, but have not been successful yet, then you need to switch things up.
Blogging is one of the best ways to earn income with the Internet, not only because people need the information you provide, but because you will gain a large audience which you can then use to further your Internet businesses. Blogging should be a major step for any business and it cannot be overlooked because in the end it will provide them with an audience and multiple streams of revenue.
Let's review a few ways blogging will allow you to start making real money.
Large Audience
What is the one thing that every successful business has? People that want their products or services. Blogging is an incredible way to attract a large audience because you provide them with information that is truly useful. After you provide high quality content on a regular basis, they become loyal readers and your readership will start to grow faster and faster. At this point, you will be able to use your blog any way you want, whether it be to promote products or services, or just keep a loyal reader base.
Don't underestimate the power of having people who want to read what you have to say. Once you win them over, the money making process becomes much easier.
One of the most popular ways blogs create revenue is with advertisements. The more readers you have, the more money you make. Simple as that. There are multiple programs out there that all work a little differently. Some will only pay a certain amount for each click the advertisement gets, while others will pay each time someone visits the page. This revenue stream usually starts out slow, but as your blog grows, so will your payouts.
Make sure you don't implement the advertisements too soon and upset your readership. If you are still new to blogging with only a few loyal readers, then you may want to hold off until you have more. The last thing you want to do is scare off the few readers you have with advertisements.
Also watch out for advertisements that have nothing to do with your blog. The more relevant the advertisement is to your blog's subject matter, the more successful. There are a lot of programs out there, such as Google Adsense, that will match the best suited advertisements to your page.
Affiliate Programs
Once you have a decent amount of readers, you can start promoting affiliate products. This can really bring in some big bucks because you get a percentage of everything you sell. With affiliate programs that offer almost anything you can think of, you can be sure to find products that are related to your niche and that your audience would love. The more loyal readers you have, the higher chance they will buy the items, so be sure to make your audience love you!
E-Book Sales
A great strategy for making some serious cash, is to turn your posts into an e-book and sell it. Niche blogs are usually about one specific subject, like creating websites. If you combined all of your posts, you probably have enough information that people could use to make their own website. Of course, take some time to make sure they don't all read as separate posts, but in general you will already have most of the information needed for the book. Once you have finished your masterpiece, you can turn around and sell it for a reasonable price and watch it continue to make money!

In Reply to: tour logistics inquiry posted by Nick on July 16, 2004 at 12:02:25:
: OK, so a friend has potential tour sponsorship and the remaining piece of the puzzle is a proposal outlining the resource requirements (buses, transportation, hotels, per diems, visas, food, crew, etc.) and the costs associated with all of this. Do you have something you can send me or a place online where I might locate this kind of info?
I would recommend hiring a "Production Manager" experienced in that area. If it is something you want to learn, then hire one and have him/her show you the ropes or consult. A good PM will have many connections and can save considerable money, time and grief by utilizing trusted vendors that they know and work with. additionally, they will know "going rates" for the various services.
An experienced PM can bid out the various services and put together a proposed budget while taking into account hidden costs etc...
If you would like some PM referrals, email me with some more info and I can send you some names.

Advertised as "rugged and durable," the Oregon HT250 is a cordless hedge trimmer that weighs 4.0 kg. (8.7 lb.) Its blade that spans 24 inches is dual reciprocating and laser-cut. Therefore, it's fair to expect cleaner, fast, and smooth cuts.
But is this garden tool as good as the manufacturers say it is? In this Oregon HT250 hedge trimmer review, we help you answer the question.
Fast Facts About the HT250
– It is powered by the Oregon Power Now lithium ion battery, a 40-v Max batery that is compatible across ALL cordless power tools offered by Oregon. That said, if you already have a Power Now battery, you can have the option to purchase a package without it. This is called the "Tool Only" option.
– Since this is not dependent on gas, it starts instantly with one pull of a trigger. This is perfect for people who have difficulty with pull cords.
– It features a variable speed trigger / throttle.
Check out all features and specifications of the Oregon HT250 here.
VIDEO: Unboxing the Oregon Cordless HT250
The video below shows you what you can expect from your brand-new purchase. Expect to find the following: tool / your HT250, charger / cord (if included), battery (if included), operator's manual.
Consumer Feedback
First up, the Oregon HT250 can be a bit pricier compared with other cordless hedge trimmers, such as a Black and Decker, which you can get for less than $100.
As for its weight, although you might find that this device is much lightweight compared with a gas-powered model, you might also find that its 8.7-lb. weight can be heavier than other cordless that you've been used to. Either way, this trimmer has been described as "well-balanced" and "comfortable to operate."
When it comes to its performance, one consumer said it's "extremely sharp and smooth."
As for the battery's life, one buyer approximates that you can get 1 hour of continuous use with full speed on the trigger. 2 hours is possible if you use moderate trigger speed.
Check out all consumer feedback and rating here.
Just like any other cordless trimmer, the Oregon HT250 is one lightweight trimmer. It's also convenient and easy to transport because it eliminates the need for long extension cords. As for its performance, it can be comparable with other cordless that we have reviewed (e.g., Greenworks 22262).
So if you're looking for a cordless, this can be an alternative. But note that you may not be happy with the price tag.

The Marine Compass
A tall ship is sailed on a straight course using a compass. A marine compass is made up of a magnet freely suspended and balanced on a fine point of metal that has a light compass card marked with the points of the compass on it. The marine compass is also marked with degrees. The marine compass is encased in a sealed bowl of non-magnetic metal tha is both air tight and water tight.
At the forward edge of the compass bowl a line called the Lubber Line is marked representing the bow of the boat. That way the course that the tall ship is sailing can be read easily because the bow is in alignment with the lubber line on the marine compass. Of course, the compass card remains stationary, because it is the lubber line that moves along with the ship. The marine compass does not align with True North but the marine compass points instead to magnetic north, the north pole of the magnetic field of the earth. Allowance will be made in calculations for the variations between true north and magnetic north deviations. The corrections for magnetic variation is shown on a navigation chart. To calculate the true course you subtract the magnetic variation from a Western variation and add for an Eastern one.
Marine compasses for sailing ships have been used in China since the second century BC. The chinese called these marine compasses "South pointers". About 1000 AD Chinese trading junks were able to sail to places as far away as Saudi Arabia using these elementary marine compasses. In the fifteenth century Chinese sailing ships sailed from Korea and Japan to the East Coast of Africa. Western Sailing ships started using the marine compass in the Mediterranean Sea around the thirteenth or fourteenth century.

Two Dutch nationals who tried to land £16m of cocaine in North Ayrshire have been jailed.
Henri Van Doesburg (68) and Arnold Van Milt (49) were found guilty of plotting to remove 108kg (238lb) of the drug from a ship docked at Hunterston. A container holding the drugs had been fixed to the hull of the vessel Cape Maria (pictured at Hunterston) and the men's plan was to recover the haul using a Seabob underwater vehicle and other scuba-diving equipment once the ship was in port.
Judge James Spencer, sitting at Leeds Crown Court, sentenced Van Doesburg to 20 years and Van Milt to 16 years. Van Doesburg's son, Roderick Van Doesburg, and grandson, Darryl-Jay Van Doesburg, were cleared of conspiring to import illegal drugs into the UK.
The court heard that more than 50 packages of high-purity cocaine, valued at £16.2m, was found by customs officers in the rudder space of the Cape Maria at Hunterston on May 9th.
Arnold Van Milt, Roderick Van Doesburg and Darryl-Jay Van Doesburg were arrested later the same day at the Seamill Hydro where they had booked-in as guests. Prosecution evidence revealed the Seabob, dry suits and other scuba-diving equipment were found in Van Milt's car. Dutch police arrested Henri Van Doesburg in the Netherlands the next day.
Describing the underwater vessel to the jury, prosecutor Paul Mitchell said, "You might have seen them used by James Bond. It's the kind of thing you use if you need to travel underwater at high speed."
Subsequent investigations revealed Van Milt had travelled to Columbia on a number of occasions, and that Henri Van Doesburg booked three hotel rooms in Rotterdam in March at the same time the Cape Maria was in port. Van Doesburg was then shown to have booked into a campsite in North Lincolnshire, where the Cape Maria had travelled from Rotterdam.
After being found guilty by the jury, it was revealed that both Van Doesburg and Van Milt had previous convictions for drugs-related offences.
Judge Spencer told the men, "You played for high stakes and you lost".
Commenting, David Norris of the UK National Crime Agency, said, "The underwater scooter was like something out of a Bond movie. These criminals were going to use it to dive beneath the ship under the cover of darkness and recover the cocaine worth tens of millions of pounds.
"Van Doesburg and Van Milt provided a specialist drug-retrieval service for organised crime groups, and we have linked them to other ships that have been intercepted carrying cocaine."
The arrests in North Ayrshire resulted from an operation run jointly by police in the UK and the Netherlands.

I welcome spring with open arms! Snow, GO AWAY!!
Here's my welcome spring outfit. Figured I'd play with a bold lipstick and begin to mix prints. I am slowly stepping out of my comfort zone with the whole mixing prints trend. I was very hesitant to incorporate the leopard belt with the striped cardigan. But, after seeing the final product, I was relived. I think it looks pretty good! What do you think?

|Description and Photograph
In the spring of 1862, Thomas Leech and Charles Rigdon contracted with the Confederate Government to produce 1,500 revolvers. They began manufacturing revolvers on Colt's pattern in Columbus, Mississippi. No more than two to three hundred were made in Mississippi before December of 1862, when the firm evacuated and eventually relocated in Greensboro, GA. Production on their pistols began again in March of 1863. Leech and Rigdon manufactured revolvers in Greensboro until their partnership dissolved on December 13, 1863. It is thought that 900 revolvers were made in total up until this dissolution.
On January 1, 1864 another partnership was formed for the purpose of supplying the Confederacy with revolvers. This new partnership consisted of Charles H. Rigdon, Jesse A. Ansley, A. J. Smith and Charles R. Keen. This firm was known as Rigdon, Ansley & Co. With the formation of Rigdon, Ansley & Co. another move began; this time to Augusta, Georgia. In Augusta, approximately another 600 revolvers were manufactured which completed the original contract for 1,500 revolvers.
Upon the completion of the original contract some few changes in the design were made, the most notable of which was the addition of six extra cylinder stop cut outs, for a total of twelve. This allotted one stop for each cylinder and one to provide a safe seat for the hammer between each cylinder. The loading lever catch was also changed and a cap release groove was added. The lowest surviving "12 stop" Rigdon, Ansley revolver known is number 1512 and the highest is number 2373. The "Leech & Rigdon CSA" barrel marking was reduced to "Augusta GA CSA" for about 150 revolvers and then dropped to "CSA". Rigdon, Ansley & Co. continued their production until April of 1865 when Sherman took Augusta. Charles Rigdon was at the founding of Leech & Rigdon and the fall of Rigdon, Ansley & Co. during which time he produced 2,400 revolvers, making him the second most successful revolver maker in the Confederacy.
The Rigdon, Ansley Revolver shown here is number 1857. The serial number is found on the cylinder, frame, trigger guard, stock, leg, loading lever, loading lever catch and back strap. The trigger assembly was not disassembled, but shows no sign of having been disturbed.
Not only is the gun original, it is in excellent condition; there is no play between the frame and leg - none! The gun is in such good condition it is a bit hard to tell, but in my opinion the gun was cleaned sometime prior to 1984. The rifling remains strong. The mechanics are tight and function well. The markings, including the CSA are extremely strong and crisp. In the accompanying image of the CSA, it appears as though there is a shiny area where the CSA is stamped, this is not the case; the bright area is an optical illusion created by the photo lights. There are some small pits on the barrel and leg created by a vice, but not a modern vice, these were done at the Rigdon, Ainsley factory. There are also some dings on one section of the cylinder where someone pecked on it or it rode against something metal while holstered. With the exception of these couple of places the metal is perfect. The lines remain sharp. In sum, the gun has very little wear. In fact it is in near mint condition.
This revolver is listed by serial number 1857, in William Albaugh's Confederate Revolvers, page 54.

If I were a personal attack kind of blog, even I wouldn't be able to publish what I think about Bob Bennett's behavior related to this matter. I guess that lunch Matt Naugle was so worried about is moot now (and he doesn't have to think about Brunner switching parties anymore).
NYT coverage here. The pictures of Brunner and Bennett in the print version occupy almost as much space as the copy.
Bill Callahan's take here – and I agree 100%. Honestly – this litigiousness of the GOP leaders is unbelievable – not to mention, Eye of the Statehouse are you listening? – wasteful.

Best cycling routes in Kiev
Kiev with its various landscapes and it is known "what administration" is not an easy place for cyclists. Despite a lot of problems, people with bicycles are getting bigger and bigger every day.
Cycling in Ukraine is a relatively new type of outdoor activity. Its advantages are obvious: the ability to escape from daily routine, physical activity in the open air, and most importantly - mobility. Thanks to the bicycle, you can travel long distances, watching directly around what is happening around you.
For Beginners Park of Peoples' Friendship
For beginners, the Park of Peoples' Friendship is ideal. (Photo 1) There, though, the dirt road is mostly expensive, but rather light - if not very rush. There are no rises, but there are ruts, because of which you can fall, so be careful.
Park "pokatushki" - Park of Partisan Glory
Another great for "pokatushki" park - Partisan glory. (photo 2). Go on the Path of Health, which begins at the end of the street. Trostyanetskaya, after crossing the tram tracks. Picturesque terrain, well-packed primer and sports areas on the road.
You can go further: cross the road leading to the m. Krasny Khutor and go further without turning, to forest paths with incredible landscapes, but there it is already more difficult. If you have enough strength, you can drive to. The princes.
Pushcha Voditsa - romance of the "crossroads"
Those who are interested in romance "crossed" - welcome to Pushcha. (photo 3) You can, for example, roll on the Archimedes' dirt road. This is, however, for the more experienced.
On the street. Krasnoflotskaya
Or Krasnoflotsky, a little closer to civilization. (photo 4)
As for the asphalt terrain, here bikers have a lot of problems: on the sidewalk you can only go to small children, and neighborhood with cars is not always safe. The authorities have long promised to build bicycle paths, but so far the business is moving very slowly. However, even in this situation, the bike is great for fast and non-stop trips to work - but here you yourself choose the route. The main thing is not to scare off colleagues with the smell of noble sport sweat. Ideal if you have a shower at work; if not, the wash basin and towel will fit. According to the latest calculations, more than 2,000 Kyivans chose a bicycle for their trip to work.
In total, there are about 15 thousand bicyclists in Kiev. Those who take a great interest in this seriously, unite in the clubs and organize the epic collective "pokatushki" - often for the city.
In the city
In the city, however, too, enough space for a small, but epic journey. For example, an approximate route for the circle along the Left Bank: (photo 5)

Harry L. Ettlinger and his family in Karlsruhe, Germany, witnessed firsthand the rise of Hitler and the National Socialist Party. The Ettlinger family business Gebrueder Ettlinger, specializing in elegant women's fashions, was boycotted under the Nazi regime and closed in 1935. On September 25, 1938, the day following Ettlinger's Bar Mitzvah, he fled Germany with his parents and two younger brothers enroute to the United States where they arrived on October 9th. Six years after his arrival in the U.S. Ettlinger was drafted after graduating high school and returned to Europe as an infantryman in January 1945. He was assigned to the 99th Infantry Division to join the counterattack in the Battle of the Bulge. At the last minute, Ettlinger, who was fluent in German, was pulled out from going into combat on his nineteenth birthday. Unknown to him until much later, he had been re-designated as an interpreter and was to be assigned to the Nuremberg war trials.
While in Munich awaiting assignment, Ettlinger volunteered his services to the MFAA section under Lieutenant Commander James Rorimer. One of his first tasks in mid-May 1945 was to assist with the interview of Heinrich Hoffmann, Hitler's personal photographer. From August 1945 to July 1946, Ettlinger and Lieutenant Dale Ford were assigned to supervise the underground operations at the Nazi repository in the Heilbronn-Kochendorf salt mines. In addition to the mining of salt, the underground mines had been utilized by the Nazis to protect German museum treasures as well as for the building of jet engine parts by Hungarian Jewish slave laborers from concentration camps. The first priority for the Monuments Men was to return seventy-three cases containing sections of stained glass belonging to Strasbourg Cathedral. The stained glass had been removed from the windows by French authorities for safe keeping at the onset of the war and later sent to Heilbronn by the Nazis. Ettlinger noted that "the Strasbourg windows were the first thing we sent back. That was on orders from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower […] as a gesture of good faith."1 In all, it took ten months and five shipments, including one to Paris, to empty the mines of some 900 works of art. Most of the treasure later went back to their German institutions.
Unlike the majority of his fellow Monuments Men, Ettlinger, while brought up to appreciate art, had no plans to go into the field professionally. Years later, he remarked, "I was just the kid from New Jersey. To tell you the truth, I wasn't as interested in the paintings as I was in other things over there."2
Following the war, Ettlinger went home to Newark, New Jersey and later to Long Island, New York. There he earned Master's degrees in mechanical engineering and business administration before becoming Deputy Program Director for a company that produced guidance systems for submarine-launched nuclear weapons. Today he is co-chair of the Wallenberg Foundation of New Jersey, named for Raoul Wallenberg, a wealthy Swedish-born Protestant who inspired others to help him rescue approximately 100,000 Hungarian Jews from the Holocaust. Ettlinger carries out the Foundation's mission and encourages Wallenberg's ideas by educating young people about the power of a single person's actions to positively affect society. In 2002 Ettlinger issued his autobiography titled "Ein Amerikaner: Anecdotes from the life of Harry Ettlinger," released in limited edition.

Robert M. Edsel is the author of the non-fiction book, Rescuing Da Vinci, co-producer of the documentary film, The Rape of Europa, and Founder and President of the Monuments Men Foundation for the Preservation of Art.
Mr. Edsel was formerly a nationally ranked tennis player. In 1981, Mr. Edsel began his business career in oil and gas exploration. His company, Gemini Exploration pioneered the use of horizontal drilling technology throughout the early 1990s. Gemini Exploration grew from a company with eight employees to almost 100. By 1995, Gemini had become the second most active driller of horizontal wells in the United States. In 1995, Edsel sold the company's assets to Union Pacific Resources Company. The following year he moved to Europe with his family.
While in Florence, he developed a great passion for art and architecture and became curious as to how so many of the monuments and great works of art survived the thefts and devastation of World War II. What began as a question evolved into an impassioned journey to unravel the secrets and heroics of the Monuments Men, the unsung heroes who saved the world's greatest art and cultural treasures for the benefit of civilization. By 2001, that journey had become a full-time job. Mr. Edsel has dedicated the last six years of his life to painstaking and far-reaching research about the Monuments Men, which first culminated in the publishing of his book Rescuing Da Vinci, a detailed historical account that includes 460 photographs. In addition to Rescuing Da Vinci, Mr. Edsel is the co-producer of the documentary film, The Rape of Europa, based on the award-winning book of the same name by scholar Lynn Nicholas.
Mr. Edsel is also the Founder and President of the Monuments Men Foundation for the Preservation of Art, a not-for-profit entity. The Foundation was one of 10 recipients of the 2007 National Humanities Medal, an honor which was presented by President Bush during a ceremony held in the East Room on November 15, 2007.

Use list ouput in formular
Hi all, I have a report that contains a list, within that list multiple elements can be selected. I already understood how to use this list output as a preselection for a subset. But I need to use that list output inside a PALO.DATA formular. Minimal example: =PALO.DATA("localhost/Demo","Sales","Desktop L","Germany") But instead of "Germany", I want the user to select as many countries as desired and sum up all returned values in one cell. Anybody know how this can be done?

The TI-92 command nDeriv uses the central difference quotient formula to calculate the average rate of change of a graph over an interval of length 2h. Here, h is referred to as the step size and will usually be a small positive number or an expression representing the step size.
The nDeriv function can be used to approximate the value of the first derivative at a point for a given step size h.
From the Home screen, press to view the calculus menu. Then press to select numerical differentiation, nDeriv.
The syntax is: nDeriv( expression, variable [,step size] )
If step size is omitted, the default 0.001 is used.
Two examples are shown on the screen below. The top example gives the central difference quotient formula for the sine function. The bottom example gives the approximate value of the first derivative at using the default step size.

I work as a freelance translator at home and things have been so busy recently that I find myself working a lot. I can feel the stress building inside like a kettle on the ready to boil over. This week has been crazy, with work coming in leaving me no time to rest. It's at times like this that I appreciate BJJ. I went to class this morning feeling lethargic and over-worked but left feeling refreshed with a buzzing high. I just couldn't live without it. It's my lifeline.
I sparred a few times. My neck is getting better every day. After about 3 rounds I stepped out and hit the squat rack. I'm up to 82.5kg now. Which is probably the most I've ever squatted in my life. I'm impressed by how well the 5x5 stronglift program works. I wish I could apply this to BJJ but I think it's not that simple.
On Saturday I went jogging in the park and felt my calf give out a bit while starting the run. I think I didn't warm up enough because half-way through I had to stop since my calf muscle just felt like it would rip out of my leg if I continued. It's getting cold, which means I really must focus on being warmed up before the run. I plan to give it a week to recover then continue my runs.

The Energy Bill introduced to Parliament on 8 December 2010 includes provision for a new "Green Deal" which the Government believes will revolutionise the energy efficiency of British properties. The Government is establishing a framework to enable private firms to offer consumers energy efficiency improvements to their homes, community spaces and businesses at no upfront cost, and recoup payments through a charge in instalments on the energy bill. It is anticipated that the Green Deal will be launched in Autumn 2012. To qualify for the Green Deal, expected savings in typical properties consuming a normal amount of energy must be equal to or greater than the cost of the measure.
Interestingly the measures installed must have been recommended for that property by an accredited, objective adviser who has carried out an assessment. The Government is reviewing options for carrying out the assessment of commercial buildings, including the corresponding EPC.
For commercial property landlords the Government is proposing powers to require landlords to bring their property up to a defined threshold before it can be rented out again, subject to there being no up-front financial cost to landlords (using Green Deal finance or equivalent).

March 1999By Mary Meehan
Mary Meehan is a Maryland writer who has been published in many periodicals ranging from The Human Life Review to the Washington Post.
Suppose your teenage son haltingly tells you, Im gay and I hope you wont hate me for it. Or a young woman tells you of lesbian temptations that she is experiencing, hoping for your advice. Or suppose you experience homosexual desires of your own. In any of these cases, you may be bewildered, even desperate. What do you do? Where do you look for help?
There is a network of people and groups dedicated to helping those with same-sex attractions and their parents and friends to face the condition, understand it, and change it or control it. They say that properly handled efforts to change the homosexual tendency especially in teenagers have a much higher chance of success than the public realizes. They also suggest ways to prevent the condition from developing in the first place, an approach that can save much heartache all around.
Many of these people, including former homosexuals both male and female, took part in an important conference sponsored by the American Public Philosophy Institute in Washington, D.C., in June 1997, which managed (despite noisy protests outside and shouts of homophobia) to have in-depth discussion of the issue. Although there were no speakers defending the gay rights position, homosexual activists were vocal in the question-and-answer sessions. The dialogue was respectful on both sides.
Some conference speakers suggested that criticism of homosexual behavior should be offered with humility, given the undeniable evidence that heterosexuality, too, is out of control these days. Some also stressed the need to respect homosexuals as human persons, for they cannot be defined by sexual behavior alone. Your brokenness is not who you are, ex-lesbian Jane Boyer told the conference, echoing what Fr. John Harvey says about the Christian with a homosexual tendency in his book The Truth About Homosexuality: In no way is his orientation the most important part of him. He is capable of transcending this difficulty and leading a full Christian life. Still, homosexual feelings are a disaster to many who indulge them.

The Latina Hat Luncheon Honors NYIT Alumni
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Fancy hats, floral dresses and a familiar energy were on display at the Latina Hat Luncheon, a networking event that had the historical Belmont Park racetrack for its backdrop.
The event, in its 11th year, was created by the Long Island Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to bring together people and small businesses in the spirit of community support. Five Latinas were honored in front of a full Turf & Field Room, including our very own New York Institute of Technology alumna Christine Bragan. NYIT was well represented in the audience as well.
"It's just really nice that so many people here who work hard and do a lot for the community want to recognize me," said Bragan about receiving the LIHCC President's Award and Corporation of the Year.
Christine Bragan was the keynote speaker for the event as well as an honoree. She is vice president of corporate marketing and communications at AMC Networks, which includes BBC America, IFC, Sundance TV and WeTV.
The LIHCC provides members with business support, professional development workshops, advocacy programs and networking opportunities in Nassau and Suffolk counties, and support for education and the arts.
Bragan sponsored a full table for NYIT students at the event. Six students had the opportunity to network with the attendees, escorted by the chair of the communication arts department and professor Donald Fizzinoglia and an alumni relations administrator.
Shannon Duer, a communication arts major and captain of the NYIT basketball team said she was honored to have been invited to celebrate the honorees' accomplishments. Duer said she enjoyed hearing about the diverse background of the successful women present. "They showed that no matter who you are or where you live, you have the potential to be successful and achieve your dreams if you work hard and believe in yourself," said Duer.
Bragan (B.F.A. '03) had an unorthodox college experience, joining NYIT in adulthood and already a customer service representative at Cablevision in Long Island. She attended classes part-time in the evening and climbed the ranks at Cablevision, achieving top management at the community affairs department. Upon graduating, Bragan was no longer with Cablevision but joined AMC Networks as the director of communications and marketing in 2003. In 2008 she was promoted from director to the vice presidency of the department, the title she currently holds.
"I had a good time (at NYIT), the professors at the school were so supportive and so helpful in guiding me through the things I needed to do to help advance my opportunity to get a degree," said Bragan about the challenge of going to school part-time and working full-time.
Professor Fizzinoglia was Bragan's professor during her time at NYIT. "She was a good student," said Fizzinoglia about Bragan's willingness to learn. He believes networking events like these are very helpful to current students. "It's a great thing for the students to see somebody here who has gone through the system and made it," said professor Fizzinoglia.
Another NYIT alumna participated in and organized this year's Latina Hat Luncheon. Amanda Ramirez (M.A.'03), obtained her master's degree in mass communications 10 years after getting her bachelor's degree in theatre from Long Island University Post, NYIT's neighbor. She is an accomplished independent television, film and documentary producer, having produced over 6 films. Her latest films "Indestructible! Baseball on the Isthmus," a documentary about the history of baseball in Panama and "Welcome to Willits," a thriller set deep in the California woods are in post-production and will be available by next year.
Ramirez had a son named Eric at age 21. After graduating from LIU Post she worked as executive assistant in the TV industry until she decided she wanted to write for television and enrolled herself in NYIT's master's program. She said she wanted to go back to school for training, feeling a need to advance professionally. "Because I was paying for it I paid more attention (in class)," she said about her experience at NYIT, "I went from being a 'B' student as an undergrad to being an 'A' student as a grad because I was footing the bill." Ramirez believes going to school later in adulthood helped her because she knew what she needed to learn to achieve her career goals. Eric was 11 years old when Ramirez graduated. He cheered her mother on at the NYIT commencement ceremony.
William Clyde a supporter of LIHCC and director of the Higher Education Opportunity Program at LIU got to know Ramirez well while helping her become a 4-year recipient of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship. "Amanda is a young woman who's got drive and a lot of spunk and was not afraid to get her hands dirty," he said. A LIHCC supporter of its educational and networking initiatives, Clyde's table also sponsored LIU Post students.
Four other very accomplished women were honored at the Latina Hat Luncheon and Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano attended the event. Jelena Alonso, chief financial officer of the New York Racing Association received the Executive of the Year award. Iris Almario, an actress and model received the Arts and Media Excellence award. Francesca Kennedy, founder of fashion company Ix-Style won the Entrepreneur of the Year award. And Julie Torres, assistant principal at Paul D. Schreiber High School was honored with the Educational Advocate of the Year award.
Asked about advice she had to give, Bragan said, "Focus on school, make sure you do whatever you need to do to take advantage of any opportunity that you're presented with. Success is like one-third luck and 2-thirds preparation. You have to be lucky and be at the right place at the right time and an opportunity presents itself. But if you're not prepared to take advantage of it, then that opportunity is meaningless," said Bragan. She encourages students to network, speak to people and get involved to make that opportunity happen.
Ramirez understands the college struggle as well and offers her own piece of advice, "Even though it seems tedious, there's a method to the madness as far as training. As many talented kids as there are out there, there's still so much to learn." She reassures students to trust their professors because they are professionals in their field.
William Clyde has made a career of helping young students succeed. He believes networking events like the this one are essential for student success. "I think it was important to have the connection," he said about the LIU Post students he sponsored. "To understand that you go to an event like this, you never know who you might meet. And under that umbrella, your career could change, you just don't know." Clyde said that a conversation with someone might not lead you directly to where you want to go, but that can point you towards the next step.

LOS ANGELES – The American Lung Association in California published a report, called "The Road to Clean Air," that shows tougher vehicle emissions standards could help California avoid at least $7.2 billion per year in health and other societal costs.
The report said these standards would help the state reduce all major air pollution-related health impacts – from asthma attacks, premature deaths and hospitalizations to lost work and school days – by 70 percent, if the overall fleet of vehicles on California roads are converted to the next generation of cleaner, more efficient vehicles by 2025.
The report said new "Advanced Clean Air" standards, set to go into effect in 2017, will annually help avoid the following illnesses and deaths across the fleet of vehicles operating in the state:
- 400 – 420 premature deaths avoided
- 8,075 – 8,440 asthma attacks and lower respiratory symptoms avoided
- 181,000 – 190,000 acute and other respiratory symptoms avoided
- 390 – 405 heart attacks avoided
- 420 – 440 respiratory ER visits and cardio/respiratory hospitalizations avoided
- 28,100 – 29,300 lost work days avoided
- 8,800-9,500 missed school days avoided
- $7.2-$8.1 billion in healthcare, environmental damage and societal damages avoided
The new standards include smog and particle pollution controls, greenhouse gas emission standards, and an "aggressive" zero emission vehicle requirement
"Ninety percent of Californians live in areas with unhealthy air according to the American Lung Association State of the Air report," said Jane Warner, President and CEO of the American Lung Association in California. "Pollution from passenger cars and trucks is largely responsible for our dirty air and its huge health toll. Our new study reveals the benefits in lives and dollars saved by adopting tough vehicle emission and technology standards."
The state currently is drafting the Advanced Clean Car standards, which update and link several existing programs aimed at reducing pollution from vehicles, including the Low-Emission Vehicle program, the Zero-Emission Vehicle program and the greenhouse gas emission reduction program (often called Pavley standards), and plans to release a draft this fall.
"There are few needs as urgent as making sure that the air we breathe in California isn't making us sick and contributing to escalating health care costs," says David T. Cooke, M.D., member of the Lung Association Board and Assistant Professor of Thoracic Surgery at the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. "California has an opportunity to dramatically reduce the human toll of cars by adopting strong Clean Car standards and accelerating the introduction of zero emission vehicles in the next round of rulemaking."
The Road to Clean Air report finds that under current standards (which apply to passenger vehicles through model year 2016), vehicles on the road in 2025 will generate over 270 tons per day of smog forming pollutants and cause $14.5 billion per year in health and societal costs, including $5 billion per year in public health costs and thousands of cases of illness.
Converting the fleet to cleaner, more efficient vehicles would avoid as much as 190 tons per day, or over 70 percent, of these smog forming emissions. Considering that California still has a long way to go in achieving smog levels low enough to meet federal clean air standards, adopting the strongest possible clean car regulations is critical.
On an individual basis, the American Lung Association in California report finds that an average car under current standards will cause more than $4,700 in health, environmental and societal damage over its lifetime – the equivalent to $1.19 in damage per gallon of gasoline, or about $20 per fill-up.
In order to reduce vehicle impacts on human health, the American Lung Association in California finds that the California Air Resources Board must adopt strong Advanced Clean Car Standards for the passenger vehicle fleet for 2017-2025 that will include the following requirements for new cars:
- Achieve a 75 percent reduction in smog-forming emissions and place stringent controls on particle pollution from vehicles
- Achieve, at minimum, an overall 45 percent (6 percent per year) reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles
- Achieve a new car fleet mix that includes at least 20 percent zero emission vehicles
The state is expected to adopt its new standards in November 2011. To view the full report, go to www.lungusa.org/california-cleancars.
Study Methodology
The American Lung Association in California commissioned a study to compare the emissions, public health, and greenhouse gas benefits that will result from current vehicle emission standards (LEV II for smog-forming emissions and Pavley I for greenhouse gas emissions) to the benefits that can be achieved from the next generation of vehicle standards (LEV III, Pavley II), including strong zero emission vehicle (ZEV) requirements being considered this year. Vehicle emission reductions result from decreases in tailpipe, on board, and upstream emissions.
